I find it very strange that so many people, particularly on the left, demonize Globalization as this horrific new threat, the root of all modern evil. You know what's a product of globalization? Pasta. Latkes. BLTs. Peach cobbler. The exchange of goods and ideas (and yeah, disease and war) has been going on ever since some H. erectus thought, "hey, I wonder what's over that next hill," and discovered Asia. Sure, it's a mixed bag. Always has been. But it's not like it's some big new threat. It's just going a bit faster now. The trick is to figure out how to maximize the good and minimize the bad.
